I'm in the Ottawa area, so nowhere near the GTA
I definitely need to get out more DS is almost 5 months and I'm feeling very much so like a cooped up bird atm We live in the country about 30 minutes south of Ottawa, and man, having a hard time right now DS is being a very picky eater lately (positioning wise) which is making getting out of the house for extended periods of time hard For about a month now, he will only nurse sidelying; even during the day Kind of makes it hard for NIP Has anyone else had problems like this; any suggestions
TIA Mamas

I'm in Ottawa too
Since the weather is starting to warm up, can you go for walks to get you out of the house for a bit?
I don't have the same nursing problem, but dd is very curious. So she'll be nursing, latch off, have a look around, latch on, etc. So I try to go to the malls that have the nursing rooms that have little divided nursing stations to reduce distractions...lol

We have the same issue!!! My baby girl Peyton is almost 7.5 months and we have been doing side lying since she was about 4 ish months. I was feeding her so often (supply issue) that I got tired of sitting there and holding her. Well she got in her feeding groove I guess cause now she doesn't nurse nearly as well if I cradle hold her etc. I mean I do if we are not home...but she much preferes to lay on the bed with me. I'm not sure if there's a way around it. Sorry I'm not much help..just wanted you to know you're not alone!

Just wanted to say it's the weekend!!! TGIF!! I'm an elementary teacher so I WOHM all week and it always seems like the few hours I have with my little man in the evening are never enough. KWIM? I'm curious how many mamas in our group our SAHMs/WAHMs vs. WOHMs.

I am still on mat leave until July, but then I will be a WOHM (but really I just try not to think about it too much right now)

I'm on leave till July but I've accrued soo much vaccy that I am going to ask to stay off till August. Makes it easier to take my little man to all the specialists that want to see him when he turns 1. I am a WOHM full time too. WIsh I could stay home!

I was DREADING going back to work in January. Just thinking about it put me in tears , to the point where my husband thought I was a bit nuts. In the end, little man loved playing with the other two little boys at his daycare (we do private daycare at someone's home) and he adjusted to the new schedule in about two days flat. It really was harder on me than him. Some days when I pick him up, he comes to give me a hug and then runs back in to the other room because he wants to keep playing. :P

I also use a private home daycare and Jake loves it as well. He asks to go most mornings and is always excited to go.

The girls adjusted fine as well. They just aren't vocal about it yet.

I agree its harder on us then them most of the time

I'm on mat. leave as well, until June
I work retail as an area manager, but will be looking for something else. There's been so many changes since I went on leave, and I've been with the company for so long, I'm just over it.
I might try to find something part-time instead.
My mom will be watching my girls when I go back.
